Well I removed the 06 regulator and cut out my support brackets for all of that and re fitted the door with the 2010 Challenger regulator which is designed for a frameless glass application. You can see the vertical runners are spread wider to carry the load more evenly. Also the glass clamps are much bigger. Other features that are built in are the adjustable stops for the glass and the adjustable mounting studs to help angle the window in the opening. Much simpler set up even if it barely fit into the door. I still may have an issue with the upper seal when I close the door as the Challenger uses "Smart Window" technology to bump down and then up when opening and closing the door. Maybe later I will attempt to learn the particulars of that set up but for now I just swapped the 6 pin motor for the 2 pin deal that came out of the 06.
Talked to Lee out in California about the glass today. He has my Lexan window and he sent pictures of it overlaying the glass from the F&F cars and except for having to cut the front edge off to match mine they are a pretty good match. Probably a couple of weeks before I see them.
